A man pulls a 50.0 kg box with a rope parallel to the ground he pulls the box 10.0 m about how much work has he done

Your answer is 5000 J

when W(work) = F X when F= the force and X= the displacment

and F(g) = M a(g) when M= mass and a = the acceleration and in our question
, the force is the gravitational force and a= 9.8 m/S2 we can assume as 10 m/s2

and when we have M= 50 Kg
so by substitution:
F= 50 x 10 = 500 N

and by substitution in work equation: when x = 10 m
∴ W = 500 x 10 = 5000 j

The weight of the box is (using an approximate value $g=10m/s^2$ :
$W=mg=50Kg\cdot10m/s^2=500 N$
Therefore, the man must apply an equal force to pull the box at a height of h=10.0m. The work he has done is equal to the product between this force and the displacement, which is the height h:
$W=Fd=500N \cdot 10m=5000 J$

during conversion water to ice,forces of attraction between molecules. OPTIONS:1.)Decreases 2.)Increases 3.)Does not change 4.)C

In-s [12.5K]

because water is loosely packed but when it is cold it becomes closely packed in order to form ice and thus the force attraction between them also increase.

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium? What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitation

JulijaS [17]

Question:

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?

A) the electromagnetic force and gravity

B) outward pressure and the strong force

C) outward pressure and inward gravity

D) the strong force and gravity

E) the strong force and kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity

Explanation:

Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.

As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.

Why is gravitational equilibrium important?

The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Cheers!

A satellite does not need any fuel to revolve around the earth?why

Nadusha1986 [10]

They don't need gas because satellites rotate around the world using our planet's gravitational force as centripetal force. That as well as since there is no air in space, it doesn't have to work against air resistance. This way it doesn't lose energy by going around and around the Earth.

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED day! :-)
